You all have some amazing tanks! I'm currently in the process of redoing my tank due to my plants dying off from an algae bloom. I currently have a few amazon swords in the back of the tank and some anacharis floating. Do you guys have any suggestions on additional plants? It's a 10 gallon with Petco sand substrate and I'm working on making it heavily planted. Here it is currently; the small swords in the middle and foreground will be replaced.

Shark, I really like the colour scheme you have going on in there, great substrate combo. I know hat you mean about the plants and the algae, just killed mine off as well (I needed some floaters/more water column feeders so I went on my local aquarium club's classifieds and managed to get a hold of some floating fairy moss which solved my algae problem in about 4 days!) Maybe you need some more floaters like I did. My problem was definitely a combination of too much lighting and not enough water column feeders. Adding the floaters seems to have solved the whole problem for me :) Even killed of my amazing hair algae problem!

This is my 46 gal bowfront tank that's in my bedroom, it has one male king betta in it but it is really a community tank with lots of fish bright colors and plants plants plants, hope you like, yes it has a ton of fish too

i'm really happy about it!
im hoping everything grows in really well. any suggestions on caring for these? all i have is gravel, is there any tank fertilizer i should get?
